We didn't. We got him and a 6th round pick from the Raiders, we gave them a 5th round pick.

I wish we could trade with them every year.

Yup, and we got a 3rd from them for Martavus. I hope Rudolph turns into something, becasuse Bryant could legit help this offense.

And Coach ripping on the Punter when he had his best kicking average game?? He had a 51yd average on 6 punts with a long of 63. You're the guy pushing the yardage agenda for punters, and he killed it! Even his touchback hit the ground at the 12. That is the first ball I've ever seen him spin into the endzone that landed outside of the 10. Auzzie punters don't do that. His ball hit point forward and spun in.

I would have rather had that downed inside the 20, than get the extra 2yards per punt on that touchback. See, that is where a 49yd average with no touchbacks is better than a 51yd average.

Quite honestly, he (Bryant) is one of the most physically gifted receivers the Steelers have had. Maybe he could help them? Idk, I think he’s helping them by not being there. With his and Bell’s absence the offense seems to be playing better together.
 
18 hours or so later, I think I have finally calmed down, all I can say is how did we win that game, it was unbelievable
Game Balls
4th Qtr Ben
Hargrave
JuJu
AB
Vance
2nd Half Defense

Goats
1st-3th Qtr Ben
Conner- Just a bad day at the office, it happens
1st half Dline and Lbs

Fu's
Jaylen Ramsey- So talented and made some great plays, but I hate his trash talk/attitude and we showed him in the 4th qtr
Jacksonville Play calling-- they are so scared of Bortles- their lack of confidence in him gave us a chance

I don't know that it was "scared of Bortles " as much as it was of playing to their strength and avoiding their weakness. Their weekness in this instance was the banged up OL. They knew they couldn't protect Bortles and, when they had to, it showed they were right.

Lining up in that package with the big TEs and FB to run the ball with soldlid runners and trusting the D was 5heir best bet. It worked for 3 quarters.

He's been doing it for years and it's never going to change. I'm sure you already know this, but for anybody who isn't totally familiar with Coach, he once said that at least Eddie Lacy didn't get injured so much when people were trying to tell him he was so dead wrong about Lacy over Bell in that draft. Lacy wasn't injured because he was sitting on the couch a lot.

Look-- When I scouted them both, Lacy looked better in college. Lacy was rookie of the year, better than Bell. That is the player I liked. Little did I know Lacy would get fat and lazy after two NFL seasons ( Where he had over 1,000 yards rushing and 24 combined touchdowns ) , while Bell would transform his body from 240 to 215, gaining some quickness. No one could have predicted these two changes. Bell always had the better OL blocking for him. Then Bell got hurt and had drug issues, taking him off the field.

Bell will not look as good on another team. Lacy ate his career away. I care for neither of them now. We have Conner.

- Regarding receivers: AB had a pass bounce off his chest, bad timing with Ben at the start of the game. McDonald, Conner, Juju all dropped passes. The one by Conner that was a sure TD was really painful to watch. Yet McD, AB and Juju all reinvindicated themselves with clutch catches. Great to see them keep their head up despite previous mistakes.

- Ben's run scoring TD was almost taken from the scrypt of Any Given Sunday, Ben you Rock!!!

Salute the Nation.

Good points.
 
Game Goat: Dan McCullers. They ran right at this waste of a roster space all game until someone decided to put Hargrave in. What's the point of being BIG if they run right through your spot?

Conner, 2 big drops

Juju: Had another drop

Game Ball: Your favorite coordinator Keith Butler who sold out on the run to stop the Jags
 
Anyone else notice JuJu typically has a drop early in games and then comes back with great catches later in the game. Seems he isn't quite ready to play until after that 1st drop.

Au contraire mon frère, I can name one person who predicted Bell would lose the weight and gain quickness. No, it wasn't me. However, it was one Michael Pettaway Tomlin ("Cool Shades" to you), head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was he who told Bell to lose the weight and he'd be a quicker, better RB.

Did Pettaway also tell him to lay off the weed, and become a better teammate by stop using social media to troll the Steelers?

Anyone can be told to lose weight, its really up to the player Show me where Tomlin predicted Bell would lose weight before it happened, and you'll score some points.

ESPN's Scott Brown reports that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told the second-year running back way back at the NFL Combine last year that he would have to lose weight in order to excel in the NFL. Bell, who entered the league at 244 pounds, "bought into that," as Tomlin says.

Tomlin telling Bell at the combine (before they even drafted him) he'd need to lose weight to excel .... Pretty much a spot on prediction by HCMT.
You can keep your "points", I'm not on this board to run up some imaginary point total against other posters. But, an exchange of valid information is always welcome. Well, it should be, right? smmfh
 
No Coach,

Telling a player to lose weight is a coaching move.

Dumb things a human being does on their own, is a players problem. The coach can only react to those situations once they occur, he can't prevent idiots from being idiots.

It would be as dumb as blaming Coach Cowher for letting Ben ride a motorcycle...

My game Observations:

- It's not a coincidence that we struggled in the run game when Hargrave wasn't on the field. Dan McCullers started and did literally nothing, he was constantly pushed out of the play. Part of the adjustments were putting #79 in there and boy was he a big difference. Kudos to him for closing gaps against the run and of course his huge sacks, a nice mix of power and technique

His crazy fast first step and use of hands is a thing of beauty. He's do damn quick out of his stance for a big guy. I loved that he had a great game, always loved the pick.

It's not even close to being about what we thought about them in college, it's that Bell became so much better than Lacy could ever hope to be, and you couldn't even admit you made a mistake in your "scouting". Everything with you always became about Bell's character or his off-the-field behavior, or injuries, or anything to justify in that little brain of yours that you weren't dead wrong. It's okay Joel, er Coach, everybody makes mistakes. It's okay to admit them and then strive to not repeat them.
 
Bortles must have some photos or something. What does it take to **** can that dude

If we have to continue to play them in any capacity, I say long live the Blake Bortles era. Something about that damn team that's been giving the Steelers fits for years. A little stat a saw yesterday that blew my mind, Bortles dropped back to pass 18 times and was sacked on 5 of those drop-backs.

In other news, the Landry Jones era is over in Jacksonville




Jaguars cut Landry Jones, sign Corey Robinson

The Jaguars decided to stick with starting quarterback Blake Bortles. They decided not to stick with third-string quarterback Landry Jones

The Jaguars signed fourth-year offensive lineman Corey Robinson to take Jones’ roster spot.
